Have replaced thermostat,radiator, water pump,fan, belts, hoses, and sensor. Still overheating
when my car is sitting it shows no sign of a leak. but after driving from place to place my car starts to get hot. by the time i park it smoke is coming up. so i change the therostate in it. later that day it was overheating again. by the time i park the vehicle the water just starts to leak out. from where i have no idea.
